also, notice that you can put things outside of the “boxes”, like header text, images, section break, etc.
You can do the column layout, which is particularly useful if
you want an informative sidebar to help the user understand what’s going on in the dashboard
you will be comparing two things sie by side*, such as bar plots (of fixed y-axis height)
*tabs are also useful for that purpose, especially when the changes are subtle or the x-axis spans a wide range.
Note: When you use column orientation, you’ll have to assign the column width so that all the columns on the page sum to 1000.
I made this box short. You can control the size of entire rows, columns, or the “boxes” inside a row or column.
But, you’ll notice: in the column-orientation layout, if you put text in the box instead of a plot, the box height shrinks down to a height to accomidate the text, rather than the fixed height
